No you drive like a maniac because you want to. You feel the need on the way to Walmart? Really.
You moved to a retirement community. huumpt
But you resent old people just trying to get there safely.
And you defend people speeding, tailgating, and weaving thru traffic? huumpt
Just this week I was in two pretty bad traffic backups locally. I wonder if reckless driving had anything to do with it?
Or, maybe a senior driver on the way to a doctor's appointment unnerved by a reckless driver driving like a maniac?

And a perfect example of
defining lousy, inconsiderate, and dangerous behavior above.
Paraphrasing:
- If you're not driving the way *I* drive then you're a lousy driver
- If you're driving faster than me then you're a dangerous driver
- If you're changing lanes to pass me then you're an inconsiderate driver
Many causes for traffic backups. I'm surprised such an attentive driver would not have noticed the cause for the backup as they progressed through it.
I've seen backups recently due to heavy traffic at the 44/Morse intersection - no reckless driving caused that.
I saw a backup earlier this wee due to the traffic signal being out at the 44/Morse intersection - no reckless driving caused that.
I've seen backups recently due to very considerate drivers stopping at the entry to a roundabout and waiting not only until there was no traffic approaching but until there was no traffic in sight - ??? Was that a case of reckless driving manifested as overly-considerate driving??
